87 RX7 NA with Turbo II Drivetrain?

Ok, I've got a 1987 Mazda RX7 non-turbo with a Turbo II drivetrain. I didn't do this myself, so previous owner did it, anyways I'm going to be swapping out the engine for a running S4 6 port NA engine, since the one in the car right now is seized. I need to know what was used to do the turbo II drivetrain swap. As well as what size sockets do I need to get the flywheel and clutch swapped over to the replacement engine.

Im not sure what your asking with: "I need to know what was used to do the turbo II drivetrain swap." But all you need to do is install a Turbo flywheel and clutch onto the NA engine and your good to go, it will then mate up to the turbo transmission.

the flywheel nut is 2-1/8”, or 54mm.

Thanks for the information, that's all I needed to know.

Putting the word "turbo" on things does not make them faster.
